  3. Age is definitely not on Mikel obi’s side, at 28 Rio Olympics is the closest to him, and will need four more years to take part in another edition of the Olympic but he is going to be 32 then and may have considered retirement as an option;
  4. The likes of Lionel Messi others who were magical at the 2005 U-20 World Cup when Mikel participated have gotten their fair share of participating in the Olympic and also won the title despite winning other titles in club football;
  5. Mikel has missed out in two consecutive AFCON football tournaments for Nigeria, as a result of Super Eagles inability to qualify for the events, playing in the tournament will afford him the opportunity to get more committed to Nigerian side;
